Initially we were somewhat disappointed by the number of walkers www.sunbushwalk.net.au turning up.

    Appendix D Fire history in Australia This appendix summarises the available information on major bushfire events in each state and territory as far back as records allow. There are many inconsistencies and gaps in the available information because there are no nationally agreed criteria for defining a ‘significant fire year’ or a ‘major fire event’. The available information shows the following: • Major fire events are a periodic feature in all states and territories. • The areas of land that are affected by fire continue to be significant. • There have been 59 recorded bushfire events where there has been loss of life, with a positive trend being the significant decline in the loss of life from bushfires in the last 20 years. • There have been 24 fire events resulting in major stock losses (defined as more than 1000 head). • There have been 21 fire events resulting in large-scale loss of houses (defined as more than 50 houses).

  • An Ecological Risk Assessment of the Lower Wimmera River

    An Ecological Risk Assessment of the Lower Wimmera River

    ENVIRONMENT REPORT AN ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT OF THE LOWER WIMMERA RIVER Publication 1257 October 2008 Small, disconnected, saline pool at the site: Wimmera River u/s Ellis Crossing, Spring 2007 1 AN ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT OF THE LOWER WIMMERA RIVER EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ecological risk assessment (ERA) is a formal process for determining the risk posed by one or more threats (stressors, hazards) to the health of ecosystems. It addresses the difficulties in assessing multiple threats for a range of species within naturally variable ecosystems. Such assessments provide an explicit and transparent process to inform management decisions in ecosystems where processes may not always be fully understood. The ERA conducted in this study focused on the ecological health of the lower Wimmera River, a highly stressed system in the north west of Victoria. The river experiences saline groundwater intrusion and long periods where there is little or no flow. As a consequence, the salinity of the river can reach levels that are harmful to many plants and animals, and, in some sections, the salinity is up to twice that of seawater. Increased salinity and low flows also result in low dissolved oxygen problems. The Wimmera Catchment Management Authority (WCMA) identified the lower Wimmera River as a priority reach for environmental flow release management. The aims of this risk assessment were to provide a better understanding of risks to river health and evaluate the effectiveness of different environmental flow management options in reducing these risks. A Bayesian decision network was developed to assess key water quality parameters, macrophytes, habitat quality and macroinvertebrate community diversity.

  • Victorian Heritage Database Place Details - 29/9/2021 HARRISONS CUT GOLD DIVERSION SITE

    Victorian Heritage Database place details - 29/9/2021 HARRISONS CUT GOLD DIVERSION SITE Location: UPPER DARGO ROAD DARGO, Wellington Shire 1 Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) Number: H1263 Listing Authority: VHR Extent of Registration: NOTICE OF REGISTRATION As Executive Director for the purpose of the Heritage Act, I give notice under Section 46 that the Victorian Heritage Register is amended by including the Heritage Register Number 1263 in the category described as a Heritage and Archaeological Place: Harrisons Cut Gold Diversion Site, Dargo River, (15.5 kms north of Dargo), East Gippsland Shire Council. EXTENT: 1. All of the Crown Land including the diversion tunnel and remains of alluvial workings within a 200 metre radius of the point with Australian Map Grid co-ordinates E261 N688 on 1:100,000 map sheet number 8323 Dargo.. Dated 7 November 1996 RAY TONKIN Executive Director [Victoria Government Gazette No. G50 19 December 1996 p.3294] Statement of Significance: The Harrisons Cut Gold Diversion Site is a 50 metre diversion which was probably excavated in the early 1880s. The name Harrison has strong connections with the Crooked River-Dargo goldfield from 1879-84. The cutting was used to divert the waters of the Dargo River effectively cutting off a long section of the original river. The dry river bed would have been extensively mined. The Harrisons Cut Gold Diversion Site is of historical, and scientific importance to the State of Victoria. The Harrisons Cut Gold Diversion Site is historically and scientifically important as a characteristic and well preserved example of an early form of gold mining.
